TV3 Neurosurgery Appeal in aid of Temple Street Children’s University Hospital
Friday, 26 February 2010 16:46
Campaign set to fund vital equipment for children's hospital
TV3 has launched a fundraising appeal in aid of Temple Street Children's University Hospital aimed at funding a vital, lifesaving piece of neurosurgery equipment. Viewers of Ireland AM will be encouraged to support this very worthwhile cause over the coming month by making donations which will go towards the purchase of a high-tech microscope used in the treatment of children who need brain surgery.
Denise Fitzgerald, CEO of the Fundraising Office at the hospital said "We are very grateful to TV3 and Ireland AM for coming on board to help us to fund this vital piece of neurosurgery equipment. Temple Street has recently assumed responsibility for paediatric neurosurgery for all children in Ireland under the age of six. With this added responsibility comes added demand on our resources for highly specialised, state of the art medical equipment and we are asking people to literally become lifesavers by supporting this appeal."
Children who will benefit from this campaign include those with brain tumours, brain haemorrhages and spinal malformations or injuries as well as those who need treatment for some forms of cerebral palsy and epilepsy.
